What does receiving this money mean to you?
I would like to express my gratitude to GD for this program. I am so grateful. My life will change. With the money, I will manage to buy some bags of cement so that I can do plaster my house. I will also buy some bags of maize so that I can supplement on the food that i have.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I am a happy person whenever I have food.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The main challenge is food production. We usually cultivate without using fertilizer and our harvest is usually low.
